Episode 19 Yes, okay.

Then, bring him here with you.

The real culprit has been identified anyway, so let's have dinner together.

Yeah. Don't stop anywhere

and come here directly.

Yes. Okay.

What are you planning to do?

First, we have to prevent him from taking Eun Bong and going somewhere else, and...

- And? - We should feel him out.

For now, that's the only means we have.

Wow.

How is the food? Does it suit your taste? Is it okay?

- Oh, it looks so delicious. - That's a relief.

- I'll enjoy it. - Yes. Everyone enjoy it.

By chance, the forensic officer, Go Chan Ho,

do you know he's on the run after being identified as the murder suspect for Chef Yang?

- Yes. I saw the news. - Oh, so you did.

You don't know him by chance, do you?

Oh, I don't. I was shocked, too, that an officer was the culprit.

I came to say this.

I was placed in charge of the reinvestigation of your ex-boyfriend, Jang Hee Joon's, case.

I don't know what we'll find after all this time, but I'm going to dig around again.

Both the scene and the people, very thoroughly.

Although, the culprit could be here in this house.

Anyway, what do you think happened to Mr. Go Chan Ho?

Do you really think he's on the run?

I don't know. I'm really curious, too.

Hey, Chan Ho. Is it too hard for you?

Looks like you have a death wish.

Oh, right. Did I tell you that I almost met up with Go Chan Ho before he disappeared?

- It got suddenly canceled, so you couldn't meet him. - Yeah.

- With Go Chan Ho? - Yeah.

Also, from Han Moo Park to the place where his car was found,

I think it'll be a good idea to check the CCTV.

Well, rather than the highway,

there's probably a higher chance that he drove on the regional roads in the vicinity.

Okay. I'll look into it.

He's not acknowledging at all. He's not falling for it.

The only time Jeong Hyeon Soo faltered...

Attorney, have you ever seen someone close to you get hurt?

This bastard... was about to violate a woman.

Oh, also, see if Go Chan Ho had any priors or trouble involving women.

Well, like violating a woman or hurting her.

That type of thing.

It's just my feeling.

Hyeon Soo, eat a lot.

It's really delicious.

Dinner was really boring, huh?

Huh? No, it wasn't.

Since you're all attorneys and prosecutors, you talk a lot about cases.

Not appropriate as dinner conversation, right?

That's a little true.

I found a new job. I was going to promote it,

but I didn't get to. I'm doing quick delivery service.

Oh, really? We use quick delivery a lot!

I'll be your best customer!

But... why out of all attorneys did you ask our Attorney Eun to represent you?

Well, since she was so famous for having been in my position, so...

Oh, you're not falling for it.

Well, I was curious, so I was feeling you out.

Since I heard that a lot of murderers and criminals approach her a lot for the same reasons.

You seem to be a very direct person.

Oh, I'm the opposite.

Really?

- Good night! - Good night, Hyeon Soo!

Yes, good night.

Bye.

Aren't you leaving, Attorney Eun?

Oh, I board...

here.

You live here?

No, no. I get room and board.

So you're saying you live here.

- That— - Yeah, we live together.

What? It's true, Eun Bong Hee.

That is true.

I'll help you.

No, it's okay. Get some rest.

It's okay. You cooked all by yourself, too.

Give it to me.

♬ Today it's like that again. ♬

♬ You sparkle in front of me, ♬

Since all the people suddenly left after a gathering,

it's really quiet and feels a bit empty, right?

I don't know. I like that it's quiet.

- Don't look at me like that. - Hmm?

That... that look in your eyes. Stop trying to tempt me.

I'm not doing anything, Eun Bong Hee. I was just looking at you.

Like this.

♬ Will all be stored in my heart. ♬

♫ On a day which is not sunny and fine ♫

♫ On just a day ♫ Give that one to me.

♫ which is sad without a reason ♫

♫ I will hold you tight ♫

Concentrate.

I'm totally concentrating on dish washing. ♫ Take my hand now ♫

- Concentrate. - Like this.

Concentrate.

Client Park Seong Eun

Yes, this is Ji Eun Hyeok.

Attorney Ji.

Oh, have you been well?

My husband...

is dead.

Pardon?

Okay, I understand. I will be right over.

Madam.

What happened?

I will accompany her.

Yes.

An attorney...

has an obligation of confidentiality, right?

Yes.

But an attorney

can't conceal the truth or give a false testimony.

In other words, we have a duty to the truth.

What will you choose?

Between truth and the confidentiality obligation?

I...

didn't kill my husband, but...

I'm going to turn myself in

and confess that I did.

Will you protect my secret?

There are two big obligations for an attorney.

Obligation to maintain confidentiality and the duty to the truth that

we will not conceal nor hide the truth.

When the two collide, which one should we choose?

Duty to the Truth vs Maintaining Confidentiality

The tea for insomnia which Eun Bong Hee bought for me.

It tastes really awful, but I thought you might need it today.

Eun Bong Hee.

You're really bothered about Jeong Hyeon Soo, right?

If by chance, I had asked you to...

represent a murderer, what do I do?

The principle of presumption of innocence.

Did you forget?

Lying about his alibi. Only that one thing is what's makes us leery.

Other than that, there's nothing else we've found.

You know how meticulous I usually am.

That's the only reason I've been checking.

You're telling me to believe that?

Yeah. Believe it.

You're telling the truth, right?

No. It's a lie.

If by chance you find something,

make sure you tell me the truth.

Don't make up lies and things.

Okay.

But... that Jeong Hyeong Soo.

Whether he's dangerous or not,

and whether he's a good or a bad person,

I just wish you would stop meeting him alone.

Fine. Since this has come up,

during just the 24 hours, where I can see you,

within that boundary, so you're safe, always—

So what I'm saying is—

24 hours is a bit...

It's a bit... Yeah, it is...

24 hours is a bit, yeah.

I was going to say something like that.

Are you breathing?

How did you... drink this?

I drink that every day.

Because you bought it for me.

It's bitter.

Even though I drink it every day, it's bitter.

It's bitter, but I drink it every day.

There are just two instances where Jeong Hyeon Soo reacted.

When I asked him about his assault case,

and when I said to investigate Go Chang Ho's problems related to women.

I'm sure he has some backstory or a trauma concerning women.

Should I meet with the woman related to his assault?

Yes, do that. But I think you'll have to be very careful.

Jeong Hyeon Soo isn't an easy person.

I'm not an easy investigator either.

That's why you ask me to do a million things and exploit me,

because my abilities are so dope.

Okay, that I acknowledge.

Also, if by chance,

we find something, I just want you and me,

just the two of us to have knowledge of it and proceed with this case.

You're talking about Attorney Eun, right?

If by chance Jeong Hyeon Soo is guilty,

and if we're the ones who gave him his freedom,

we won't be able to hide that fact from her and we shouldn't,

but so that she will be hurt as little as possible, if feasible

I'd like for her to be able to brace herself mentally for it.

Yes.

You confessed voluntarily.

Due to suffering continuous domestic abuse, her mind and mental state were impaired, and the crime occurred during her impaired state.

There are two causes of death. The victim suffered brain hemorrhage caused by a skull fracture.

So you pushed your husband during a fight, and he died from his injury to his head.

Then you stabbed his abdomen with a kitchen knife,

despite the fact that he was already dead.

It was because I hated my husband that much.

I was still angry and resentful.

Well, then...

This is a coincidental meeting, right?

Prosecutor to lawyer?

Well.

So you were the lawyer for Eun Bong Hee's case?

Yes.

Do you think that Eun Bong Hee is innocent?

You know this. I don't trust my clients.

Whether I trust or don't trust, or if they are truthful or are lying, it really doesn't matter.

It's just work.

But I did believe Eun Bong Hee.

I took her case after I believed her.

- Why? - I don't know.

I could just believe her.

Eun Hyeok.

Can you eat meals with me from time to time?

Park Seong Eun had been a victim of domestic violence by her husband, Kang Jin Ho, for a long period of time.

On the day of the accident, her husband Kang Jin Ho had originally planned to be away from their home for a few days due to his work.

But he returned to their home without notice, and the couple began fighting.

In the end, wife Park Seong Eun pushed husband Kang Jin Ho.

And unfortunately, as you can see,

Kang Jin Ho died from a skull fracture, which resulted in a brain hemorrhage.

But our client, Park Seong Eun, is currently admitting to all of this very easily.

So is our defense based on her suffering from an impaired state due to a long history of domestic violence?

- Precisely, Attorney Eun. - Wait, hold on.

Now that I've looked at it, there is something strange about this.

On this day, it seems like there was no sign of violence from the husband Kang Jin Ho.

According to the material you've given us, and if you take a look here, there is no wound on Park Seong Eun's body, right?

Yes, that's right. That day was just an accident caused by a verbal argument.

Alright, the son Kang Jae Yeong.

Kang Jae Yeong, age 24, male. College student. Resident of Jongno-gu in Seoul. Lives separately from parents.

I believe that my mother killing my father was

self-defense.

He testified that his father had been violent and abusive.

This case is actually very simple.

I just did the briefing because you guys were all curious.

Like I always have up to now, I will do this on my own, however I want,

and I will do it well, so don't worry.

Yeah, I'm not worrying. I'll help you.

- I'm fine. - I'll help you.

Attorney Eun, help with me.

Ah, okay.

No, Attorney Eun. It's fine.

Why? I think it'll be a huge learning experience for her.

Okay, then only Attorney Eun can help me. You don't need to; no thank you.

I want to help too.

No, why?

Normally, unless I ask for help, you've never offered to help. What is this out of the blue with you?

Normally, when you ask for my help, I didn't want to help, but

because you don't want help, I really want to help right now.

- Okay, then help me. - Alright, I'll help.

No, then you're supposed to say that you won't help me.

I don't want to. I'm going to help.

- You don't need to help. - I'll help.

You don't need to help me.

Ah, those elementary school kids.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Really, even though I'm single, I feel like I'm a single father raising four kids.

- Four? - Four.

Here he comes. Our first born.

Hey, the one who lost my trial, Ms. Lack of Evidence!

Hey!

Come back here! Come back here! Stand still!

Come here!

Your eyes are going to pop out, Sunbae.

Yeah, I have tons of work to do. Searching for Go Chan Ho's whereabouts, researching his past...

Oh, and the new murder case. It's like a mountain.

Ah... The video quality really sucks.

If it's this bad, it doesn't get much better even if you send it to the forensics team.

Right?

Anyway, to think that Go Chan Oh was the culprit and not Jeong Hyeon Soo...

I really don't know what is what anymore.

Me too. I really thought that Jeong Hyeon Soo was the culprit.

I know, right?

- Your delivery is here. - Welcome.

- Hello. - It's nice to see you like this, business-wise.

I know, right? These are the medical files that Attorney Ji wanted from the hospital.

- Ah, hello. You're working hard. - Oh, hello.

This looks like a diagnostic record for Park Seong Eun's case.

Recently, the cases are never-ending.

Just so you know, this one is a murder case again.

This one is different from that one. This one is a confession case. Confession. Yes?

If you confess to your crime, your sentence may be mitigated, right?

Oh, is that so? I see.

Such an obvious case. I better make sure she gets that.

Just once more,

just once, will you reconsider?

Attorney. Here you go.

Huh? Wasn't CEO Byeon on duty his week?

Somehow, it turned out like this.

Um, how should I put it? A give-and-take situation?

Do you want to sit for a moment?

But what were you looking at?

Lawyer Ji's case?

Yeah.

Attorney Ji flatly refused your help, so what's the reason you're insisting on helping him?

Well, it is because his attitude is suspicious.

Hey, 365 days, all year round, Attorney Ji is always suspicious.

You're pretty good at reading people, Attorney Eun.

At one time, I used to think that you were irritating 365 days, all year round without fail.

Was I like that?

In any case, I looked at the documents and...

There is something as expected, huh?

No, I'm not sure.

What?

But there is something weird.

I think it's possible that someone was supposed to come home.

I think the fact that she stabbed him after he died is strange.

Regardless of how much she hated him, I wonder if she really had to go that far.

That's true. I agree with that point.

You have improved a lot, my Lawyer Eun. You are doing well.

One more thing. Isn't it possible that the person who was supposed to come home was her son?

Her son?

He's here downstairs to prepare for witness examination with Attorney Ji.

No matter who sees this, they will conclude that they're definitely dating.

Who?

I didn't say anything.

I heard it.

You heard wrong. I hear that happens a lot with age.

That punk. What was it?

First,

I will question you as the prosecutor would.

Yes.

How long did the abuse from your father, Kang Jin Ho, towards your mother last?

A long time. A very long time.

My father had already used violence from the youngest age I have memories from.

Truly, even though she is my mother, she is very pitiful.

Then why are you doing this to your pitiful mother?

Let's do this again. Your mother...

By chance, did your father use violence against your mother only? Or did your father use violence against you as well?

Uh, Wook?

What was the reason that you left your house and lived separately from your parents?

You can't just ask him routine questions. You need to ask him some surprise questions, too.

I will take care of it.

The witness, after becoming an adult,

could have fought with his father. Have you considered that?

I happen to know someone like that.

I should have protected someone, but

there was a kid that I couldn't protect.

At that time, I thought about it. Ah...

After I grow up, when I gain strength and ability,

then I must make sure that no one suffers the same thing. I had that thought.

What about you, Mr. Kang Jae Yeong?

All right, let's end our interrogation preparation here, and let's meet next time. All right, Mr. Kang Jae Yeong?

Yes.

Go back home safely.

Why? Why? Why on earth did you do that?

I could ask you the same. Look at me, Ji Eun Hyeok. Huh?

I am always watching you all the time, Wook.

Of course, you are, but look at me properly and tell me the truth.

What? What truth?

Don't kid around.

Like you said, what are you doing now, No Ji Wook?

You are hiding something now, right?

- Don't be presumptuous. - I want to be presumptuous. What about it?

- Is her son the culprit?- This punk...

Right? Is that so?

And what if that were the case?

Park Seong Eun went shopping to make dinner for her son, who was coming home after a long while.

But her husband was lying down on the floor.

Honey.

Seeing her husband, who wasn't supposed to be home at that time, she had an intuition.

- "Oh, our son came by." - Honey!

"Oh, my husband and our son had a fight, huh?"

1-1... (Start of an emergency call)

So she made up her mind.

"I will pretend to be the murderer in lieu of my son."

I will take all the blame.

As expected, was that what really happened?

Attorney-Client Privilege applies to you as well, starting now.

Code of Attorney Conduct, Article 26, "No attorney shall disclose any confidential matter that he/she has learned in the course of performing his duties."

Before that, Article 24, Clause 2.

"Each attorney shall, in performing his/her duties, be prohibited from concealing the truth

or making false statements." Right?

To me, my client's wishes precede everything else. So attorney-client privilege must be given priority, right?

So you are going to let go of a culprit and lock up an innocent person? Do you think that makes sense?

I'm currently working on persuading Ms. Park Seong Eun, all right?

But you are not able to persuade her.

She gave a false confession, and she is now facing trial.

So when and how will you persuade her?

I will follow my client's wishes, even if I can't persuade her.

Do you think that is the right thing, for the sake of your client?

Yeah, I think like that.

Stop saying stupid things!

Hey, why should she have to sacrifice so much for a criminal like that?

Don't you understand?

That is what my client wants.

I will do what my client wants regardless of what it is.

So even if there is another murderer, you will just let him go free?

Hey, Ji Eun Hyeok. Do you think you can handle it?
